My reaction to trick shots

When i see a tour pro do some trick shots, it is cool as it shows their total skill

When I see Joe nobody who does nothing but chip balls into basket ball nets all day i think who cares?

95% of the trick shots I have ever seen I could do, nothing impressive about them, I am impressed by great golf, we are golfers and the skill required to be paid to play golf is huge.. trick shots? I can only summarise as who cares?

I agree, there is nothing better than watching top quality golf and is something i can only dream off. However trick shots add a different aspect of the game we love so much and helps attract others whom might not have been interested before.

Yeah but some tour pros do trick shots, like smashing a ball back over there heads with a 64 degree wedge. Just coz they are not pros does not make it any less interesting or impressive. Some golfers make a career out of trick shots.
Once saw at our place three kids about 14 yr old doing keepy uppys. It was impressive.

It might be impressive to you
To me it is not

It is less interesting when a nobody does it as they cannot back it up with a great round of golf so i would question what is the point?

I am personally impressed when Phil flips a 64 degree wedge over his head as it displays his amazing skill that he applies whilst playing ACTUAL GOLF.

Seve doing a trick shot, fantastic, guy just shot 65 and I watched him flip a ball over a guys head, what skill, what talent

Doing keepy uppies with a ball all day.. ? why? Understand this, I can do a great deal of the trick shots, so i am in no way jealous, i just see spending hours and hours and hours practising to chip a ball into a net, off a post or whatever as a rather pointless endeavour.. i am impressed by GOOD GOLF and if you can also throw in a trick shot (Which i know you do not spend all day practising) it is impressive.

Pretty sure this thread qualifies as spam too

I've seen a guy called David Edwards who does trick shot displays at corporate events, I think at some pro ams before tournaments as well. He was a club pro who discovered this was a good line of work. Don't know the bloke but the displays are bloomin brilliant and loads of fun. If you get the chance to see him then do, he is impressive and a lot of fun.

 

[351DRIVER]

Seen him many times

99.9% of golfers and probably the same amount of people on this forum are not capable of a great round of golf ( to a pros standard) so what is the point.
People play golf for a variety of reasons, people play differant versions/ formats of golf for the same reasons. Variety. Stableford, Medal, Texas, 2 from four, Foot golf etc etc. All have evolved from the original whatever it was format. Trick shots in golf is no differant to Basketball, football and er golf. Enjoyment and enertainnment.
What it does do is to help eye and ball coordination.
If memory serves me right Tiger Woods once did a show as a 3 or 4 yr old doing trick shots. The crowd went ahhhhhh. But he was just a three yr old kid. We never knew he would be one of the best ever golfers. How does that make it any more or less impressive. What he did as a three yr old was impressive. I struggle to understand that if he grows up to be capable of playing a decent round then it now becomes officially impressive.

I am a golfer

I find trickshots, boring and pointless and unless you bounce a ball of the moon into the sun there is no trickshot i want to see

Awesome? No. A bit of fun? Yes. I'm all for it, why not. It's something different. It's a skill, it's just not golf.

I've perfected the club dropping though.
